“This is a strange place,” whispered Zing. ” I wonder what’s in all those bottles?”
Zang’s curiosity overpowered his caution. “We should open a bottle. Come on!”
The two aliens flickered to invisible mode and crept into the wine cellar, innocent as babies.
Zang pulled out a bottle, and tried to twist off the cork. “I need a tool,” he said, just as Zing noticed something that looked appropriate. Inexperienced, Zang botched it. Wine spurted everywhere. They licked sticky fingers.
“Mmmmmm,” said Zing. “More, please.”
They went undiscovered, but the vintner always believed his arch-rival had been sampling the goods.
Just Writing! 
At last! Zing and Zang on a bender! They’ve discovered what makes Earth worth visiting

Larry, I haven’t heard from them since this happened. Maybe they still have a hangover 🙂

That’s understandable. Drinks from other planets may often provoke such a lot of trouble

Such a cute pair those two are. Hoping they don’t suffer hangovers like us humans do.

That should see their inhibitions relaxing somewhat. I take it they have some?

Nice to see Zing and Zang, although I think their wine tasting will certainly get them into more bother.

I wonder if aliens get drunk like humans. Or if their alcohol would be something different. Great story, Linda.

What a great prompt for Zing and Zang. They get to sample a very human pleasure, by enjoying a bottle of good wine. They are so uninhibited about drinking it that we must assume their metabolism can adjust to cope with the alcohol. Glad they got away without being interrupted.

I hope you’re right about their metabolism. Otherswise, I’m afraid they’d be in a world of hurt!
